Abstract:
:PAF (0.2 microM) induced maximal platelet aggregation in human PRP and [3H]-PAF (1-5 nM) binding to platelet membrane preparations had Kd value of 3.8 nM and Bmax of 200 fmoles/mg of protein. Without UV irradiation, a synthetic azido tetrahydrofuran derivative L662,025 was a reversible and competitive PAF-receptor antagonist with IC50 values of 5.6 +/- 0.3 microM (platelet aggregation) and 1.0 +/- 0.25 microM (receptor binding). Photolysis of L662,025 in the presence of PRP produced an irreversible inhibition of platelet aggregation and specific binding of [3H]-PAF (1 nM). L662,025 did not affect collagen- or ADP-induced human platelet aggregation before or after photolysis. It is a new probe that can be used to identify and characterize the PAF-receptor.
